@DatAwesomeTho "Looking at that armour brings back memories, good and bad. I acted a little bit too much like Arthur when I stole it from you..~" She laughed sheepishly, letting go of the man's shoulder.

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho "How could they possibly when one of their brothers is named after you" She laughed, her gaze shifting to the suit of armour in the corner.

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho "That's my boy~" She cooed playfully, pinching his cheek with her free hand, "Come join us for a meal in the morning. The kids have been eager to see you again"

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho "What matters at the end of it all is that you're happy with who you are and the choices you've made" Gillian said, reaching over and placing her hand on Gilbert's shoulder gently, "Nations lives are long and they can be painful, but we cannot allow that pain to rule over us."

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho "I don't doubt that it would have worked out in this life, the unfortunate fact of the matter is that they seem content with not changing their worldview and those kinds of people...they're not all that worth talking to unless you want to be eternally frustrated"

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho "Perhaps in a different time or life where his influence isn't so strong, you could be together" Gillian mused, her fingers idly playing with the fabric of her clothing, "Alas, you must live with the cards that this life has dealt you."

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho "It's a step by step process and your brother in law cutting you out from your wife's direct vision which is the first step. The second step was you coming here to get away from it. Your next choice determines what happens with your marriage, even if it means a legal separation"

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho "You need a day, or night in your circumstance, where you focus on yourself, the person that you were before that sham marriage, and how you can bring that man into the present" Gillian suggested, seating herself on a chair close to the bed.

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho "No one is ever really the same person they were when they leave home, but do you have such little faith that they wouldn't want make you feel at home?"

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho "You could return home? I'm sure your brother and sisters miss you. It seems like running away, but good soldiers know when to stay and when to go"

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho "I can understand her line of thinking, when you're as sheltered as she is and having had only Sir Arthur to keep company for a long time, it's easy to think him as the flawless centre of the world..." She shook her head in disbelief, "I'm glad you're here and not there."

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho "I think I don't need to guess who is the reason behind your lack of sleep. Did the situation turn even more sour?"

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho "It might be my home, but it is your room" Gillian quipped easily, stepping into the vampire fledgling's room and closing the door behind her, "I sleep late and not easily so it's normal for me to still be awake at this time."

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho "You've got more colour in your face so I think it was well worth it. May I come in? The children have a habit of using their magic to listen in on conversations if they're held in the hallway~" Gillian laughed lightly.

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho "Did you have a good sleep? You've been out for days" She asked, magicking his clothes clean and adding a neutral ocean scent with a wave of her hand.

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho Having settled everyone down for bed, the Manxwoman made her way to where Gilbert had been staying; deliberately taking her time so he could get out of the shower and dressed before her arrival.

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho The sound of water running in the showers so late in the evening clued Gillian in that her friend had woken up from his much-needed rest.

Arthur had not been overly keen on the Prussian's presence but when his vampiric counterpart was mentioned, he allowed it.

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho The bottles were lightly chilled and were labelled with the different blood types that were within. The blood itself tasted fresh as if it had been drawn that morning as opposed to have been sitting in a fridge for days.

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho A few days and nights passed and during that time, the Prussian's clothes had sorted themselves into respective drawers and a small fridge filled with blood bottles had been set down next to the vanity.

[Gillian Kirkland @Isle_Of_Manx]

@DatAwesomeTho Gillian closed the door quietly behind her and returned upstairs to inform the family that the Prussian had come over but they needed to be quiet so he could sleep.
